New Year 1938! The end of a unique epoch— the beginning of a new! That is what we are
all so happy about—it is more than jus another New Year!—it is a new era! The past year was a
year of adjustment— of change of pace, of adaptation to altered circumstances for buyers and sellers alike. We all, now face a new year with new courage—new methods—new ideas. We have become
adjusted to new conditions—mutually used to one another's changed manners, ready for a banner
year.    A happy and prosperous New Year to you all.
